Chapter 286 Fear (5)
The other soldiers raised their shields to protect themselves, and while Billy could pierce them just by making the stone bullet stronger, he approached instead since they lost sight of him. With the sound of his footsteps, they moved their spears and attacked the space in front of them when Billy got too close, but he jumped before they could hit him, rendering their actions to a waste of time.
Thanks to the momentum, Billy passed right above the soldiers and landed behind them. However, before they could turn around, Billy punched and smashed the head of two of those enemies. His strength had increased considerably now that he could control his stamina. Thanks to that, even his punches alone were deadly. As for the remaining two enemies, he stopped their attack by impaling them with two earth spears.
"Tch…" Billy clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Billy didn't like that… killing humans when it wasn't on a war. Nevertheless, he quickly jumped out of the hole. He saw the dark alley surrounded by more guards that greeted their teeth in anger when they recognized Billy.
"I will give you just one chance, fall back now, and…" Billy said, and then he was interrupted when the guards dashed and then jumped to impale him from several directions. "At least let me finish my damn lines."
Fortunately, only half of the soldiers dashed blindly. The others had some brains. Nevertheless, Billy equipped his short spears and then waited for the enemies to get closer before suddenly dashing and passing behind some of them. He quickly turned around and then used Quick Spear to stab them several times. In the blink of an eye, those enemies were taken down. The others who stayed behind trembled while preparing themselves to fight. They didn't even see what had happened aside from Billy moving behind on those guys' backs.
"As I was saying… fall back and I won't kill you," Billy said. "Drop your weapons if you want to escape from the clutches of that damned woman."
The soldiers hesitated. They didn't hate Billy enough to risk their lives for a lucky hit. They also weren't loyal enough to the woman who caused two wars and made them lose friends and even family. Still, they were conflicted, and since they didn't know what to do, Billy decided that for them. He made the ground swallow them up to their necks. Now that he thought about it, Billy realized that it was the best option. He couldn't let them escape the town and spread information about him until it reached Jeannette.
"To all of the people of this town! If you have issues with me, then feel free to come and attack," Billy said. "If you want peace and avoid another war, then don't interfere. Soon you will have the chance to escape, just wait patiently until the time comes."
Billy's voice echoed through the entire town since he didn't hold back with his voice. Still, more soldiers had already appeared, and they wanted his blood. Even though things were pretty noisy at that moment, Billy could hear more footsteps approaching. He had to be fast, or otherwise, he would get surrounded by hundreds of soldiers in no time. Just like before, some enemies dashed toward him without thinking, while others hesitated. Billy impaled their legs with Earth spears without putting much thought into it. He had pierced their arteries, so the chance of them surviving was close to none. While those enemies grunted in pain, the others realized that Billy could attack them from any direction.
"Drop your weapons…" Billy said with a cold voice, and some of the enemies dropped instantly.
The others didn't like the idea of being unarmed in front of such a dangerous man. In the end, a weapon didn't help them much since Billy made them sink underground. Those who had dropped their weapons fell on their knees and put their hands on the back of their heads. It seemed that such a pose was common in that world as well. In any case, Billy recovered his mana when the first guys died, so he used it to make all the weapons sunk in the earth as well.
The same thing happened several times more, and along with those attempts, those crazy soldiers even tried to kill their allies that had surrendered. Billy didn't even blink when he fired Stone Bullets toward those mad individuals. The number of corpses and prisoners was increasing quite a bit, but then Billy's pace slowed down when some barbarians showed up.
"Pay attention to your legs! He likes to attack from below with magic!" One of the barbarians' leaders shouted.

Billy confirmed that one was being manipulated, so Billy didn't know for sure what he should do to stop that new troublesome group. Just killing the leader was an option, but Billy knew that it might just enrage the barbarians, and then he would have to do the same with others…
In the end, that cost ton of mana and a powerful headache, but Billy made those two hundred barbarians sink to the ground and made them stop moving. His magic had gotten powerful, but using so much mana, with such precision, against so many targets still was quite the ordeal.
"It seems you have things under control here…" Svan suddenly appeared and then said.
"Why aren't you guarding the other entrances?" Billy asked.
"People are scared of leaving the houses due to the battle, no one was coming," Svan replied. "So, I decided to come and help."
